Unorthodox Eighties

We are grasping for words to adequately describe the... er... kookiness of this Isabel Canovas purse from the 1980s. It melds influences ranging from Greek mythology (the glorious Bacchus clasp) to modern commercial-grade construction (the unmistakeable "traffic cone orange" color of the woven base) for an over-the-top effect. Dimensions are 10¼" x 7½".

From the ludicrous to the sublime: this Chanel pouchette from the 1980s wraps around thy waist! Gone are the days of towing a heavy bag on your forearm--stow all your knick-knacks in stylish brown quilted leather and be the envy of every mother at the soccer tournament. Dimensions are 8" x 5½".
